WTF, everyone knows you can get fat gaming laptops,

They are wrong because Razer says so!

I am looking forward to see people try and play BF3 on it though

You really have to compare it to other gaming laptops to get a fairer comparison, as quite frankly if you compare it vs a desktop then you've kinda missed the point. The gaming laptop (and workstation) niche still exists because there IS a market for portable or semi-portable (DTR) workstation/gaming machines, either because people don't have the space, move a lot, need something mobile etc etc.

That said you can get a faster laptop for about a grand so it still fails.

I think it looks amazing as a shell etc, the spec and cost and past experience with Dell m1710 means never again a gaming laptop

Maybe if this was released 2 years ago, then yeah it could be worth looking at.

I thought this was a joke when I first looked at it.

A Frenchie advertising electronics. I won't be buying that, it will break.

SkScotchegg · 6 Sep 2011 at 22:18

What a waste time, I'd never play on a laptop lol, desktop PC with keyboard and mouse is the only true way to game! especially for FPS.

I bought a Grade A Toshiba A665 last week.

Core i7
4Gb RAM
500Gb HD
Nvidia GTS 350M
Win 7 Home Premium
and it features a 120Hz screen, NVidia 3D vision and glasses kit.

£349.99

So it's an inch thick, I can still carry the bloody thing!

I doubt either of them will be overly demanding :S?

Edit - and Blizzards stuff is usually really scalable.

You can't polish a turd.....but they're really trying.

Judgeneo · 6 Sep 2011 at 23:32

I like the design, and I like the video.

harenzo · 6 Sep 2011 at 23:39

Well it's definitely a bit different. Ludicrous pricing

I can't imagine myself actually using the trackpad in a game.

Strife212 · 6 Sep 2011 at 23:39

How is it a fail? It looks awesome.

Fair enough it costs $2700 which is too much. Gaming on laptops is fine these days, of course you plug a mouse in. You don't get desktop performance but then you don't expect it either.

Yes? My year old Dell plays Crysis ok and it cost much less than this.

It looks good, but not $2800 good.
The reason it is so thin is because the graphics card is crap.
They really haven't solved a single thing.

They could make it even thinner and use the intel 3000 graphics that Sandy Bridge have built in and say 'omg thinnest gaming laptop ever'.

Hong Kong cinema seems to be hitting a slump, that movie trailer sucks....

It's also fail because you can get a better specced gaming laptop which weigh about the same (although admittedly a little thicker) for about half the cost, bear in mind Razer often translates $:£ 1:1. £2800 for that is WAY too much. At half the price it might have hard a market, but as it stands, the bigger, more publically known Alienware/Clevo are available cheaper, with a better spec. Aside from those with more money than sense, no one will buy one as it's priced itself out the market.
